What better way to get things accomplished than making a list with a deadline? So, I have seen 102 things in 1002 days, and while that is an amazing idea, I know myself. 102 things in 1002 days seems like a lot to me, and a bit overwhelming.

These are such amazing little goals that will make such a big impact once accomplished, I'm definitely saving this because almost all of your professional and personal goals are things that I also would like to change in my life. Good luck! You can do it! :)

I need to do a lot of these too, especially #s 9, 33, and 34. I have completed #s 3, 4, 5, 26, 32, and 49 and I kind of do #s 13, 14, and 29 except I go to bed by 9 p.m., wake up before 4 a.m., and try to get to work before 6:00 a.m.

I really like that you are making a list for yourself. I've done a few of those and its rewarding at the end. One goal that stands out to me is "going to the movies alone". Trust me once I did it you will see its not as bad as people make it seem. It's very relaxing, I can admit I've done it a few times after achieving it once. So you go girl! Look forward to see how your accomplishments turn out in the future and see you completed your list.
